Lap 55 of 188: CAUTION: Debris
Stenhouse gets the Lucky Dog, and is now back on the lead lap. Logano is still down a lap. Only six from the accident remain more than a lap behind, and are stuck in the garage.
Michael Waltrip is on the track again, 37 laps down (27 laps behind those in the garage after the Big One).

30 laps to go CAUTION:
While some people were coming into the pits in a green flag, Dillon's front goes up in flames. He was safe.

Most people are taking two tires only.

Both of us have had two of those races already.
This must stop NOW!!

Now that Ragan is lined up to finish the rest of the season with Michael Waltrip Racing, perhaps we all ought to think about how often we select him.
